DAILY Page Three WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1933 FATE OF H. PING STILL UNKNOWN, 140 Artists, Demand That Charges SHANGHAI, Jan. 26—The Kuo- mintang Nanking Government con- tinues its refusal to reveal the prison to whom Huang Ping, chairman of the All-China Federation of Labor, was transferred upon his arrival in Nanking two weeks ago in chains and under a heavy guard. They like- wise refuse to state the charges on which he has been arrested. All efforts to discover his whereabouts have been unavailing. In fact, it is not even certain whether he is still alive. The toilers of the whole world are urged to intensify the protest campaign, demanding the immediate, unconditional release of this stal- wart anti-imperialist fighter and labor leader, Artists, Writers Protest CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—One hundred and forty artists and writers attend- ing the Open Forum, conducted by the John Reed Club, unanimously adopted the following resolution to be forwarded to the Chinese legation in Washington and to the Kuomin- tang authorities at Nanking: “We demand the immediate and unconditional release of Huang Ping, Chairman of the All-China Trade Union Federation, arrested, tortured and threatened with death by the Kuomintang authorities of Peiping and Nanking. “We condemn the Kuomintang leaders by their actions to be the lackeys of the imperialists and the betrayers of the Chinese masses. “We declare our sympathy with the anti-imperialist national libera- tion movement. “We demand the. withdrawal of all imperialist powers from China! “Freedom for Huang Ping! “Freedom for Gertrude and Paul Ruege! “Freedom for all Chinese class-war prisoners!” A copy of the resolution was also sent to the Chinese Consul in Chi- cago. IJ. S. SHARPENS Writers | FIGHT ON BRITAIN Demands Concessions on War Debts WASHINGTON, Jan. 26—The Wall | Street Government today sharpened its offensive against its British rivals, demanding trade and other conces- sions in exchange for any downward revision of the British war debt to the U. S., and at the same time at- tempting to force Britain back to the gold standard in an effort to de- prive the British of their present| temporary advantage in the world market—an advantage secured by the process of currency inflation through which the cost of production has been reduced, thus enabling the British bosses to undersell the U. S. in the world market. Refuse Concessions. The British Government, in accept- ing Roosevelt's invitation to send delegates to a conference in Wash- ington in March, has rejected the U. S. demands, refusing to make any | concessions to its U. S. rivals. In making its Dec. 15 payment on the| war debts, the British Government stated that it would be its last pay- ment on the old agreement. The French and other European govern- ments which defaulted in the Dec. 15 payments are reported standing firm in their resistance to the U. S. demands for payment of those in-| stalments and for concessions in ex-| change for debt revision, The Ital- ian Government has offered a final lump payment, which would wipe out two billion dollars of the Italian debt to the U. S, government. Call for Reprisals | Democratic and republican leaders | in Congress are calling for reprisals | against the debtor countries in the form of an increase in the already | high U. 8, tariffs and for inflation | { | | | | | of U. S. currency “to compensate for | depreciated currencies abroad.” Both of these proposals would further low- er the already starvation standards of the toil masses in this country and are part of the bosses’ scheme to increase the price of commodities by securing monopoly of the domestic market for the American bosses and reducing the purchasing value of the dollar. This also means a sharpen- ing of the present bitter tariff and trade war increasing the danger of a new world slaughter, DRESDEN POLICE KILL 13 WORKERS Shot in Back at Anti- Fascist Meet (Cable by Inprecorr) BERLIN, Jan. 26.—Declaring dis- solved a meeting attended by 1,000 workers in Dresden yesterday, the police fired point-blank into the backs of departing workers, instantly killing 13 and seriously injuring 10, The meeting in Dresden yesterday was convened by the League Against Fascism. The police invaded the ineeting as Comrade Friedrich, former army lieutenant, commenced a protest speech against fascist terror, The police then declared the meeting dis- solved, and opened fire at the depart- ing crowd.

U.S. FOR PUPPET IN WAR DRIV Supports ‘Colombia in} Drive Against Peru (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Colombian puppets to effect that con- trol for U. 8. financial intere: emson then proceeds to praise the “pecce efforts” of the Brazilian Gov- ernment which, in the main, repre- sents the mobilization of huge Bra- zilian naval and military forces on the Peruvian border and permission to Colombia for the untrammeled use of Brazilian waters (the Amazon River) by Colombian warships and transports advancing on the Let- icia region. Brazil Joins U. S. Bloc | Stimson’s endorsement of the Bra- | zilian “peace efforts” is proof that the | U.S. imperialists have been victorious over their British rivals in the strug- gle to win Brazilian adherance to the U. 8. bloc of puppet governments. ‘Washington also scored another vic- | tory over the British yesterday at | the League of Nations conference of | 19 powers in securing the formal sup- | port of the conference for its Col- | ombian puppets. The League, which | has failed to stop Japan's robber war | on China, is to join Stimson in his) hypocritical gesture of “averting” | war. Meanwhile one of the bloodiest battles in the Chaco region enters its | | seventh day, as the Bolivian army, | supplied with arms from the United | States, continues to press its offen-| Sive against the Paraguayan forces. Casualties during the first four days | were reported at 6,500, including | killed and wounded. The ground be-| tween thé two opposing forces /is| piled high with dead and dying, No reports have been made of the cas- | ualties for the past two days, but | these are expected to be increasingly high as a result of the growing in- tensity of the battle. The war is threatening to engulf the whole South American continent, with the governments of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay lining up in the British bloc, while Brazil is mobiliz~ ing to support the U. S. bloc of Bol- ivia, Colombia and Ecuador. With the growing sharpness of the strug gle between U. S. and British im- perialisms over the war debts, mark- ets and colonies, the two bandit pow- ers are more and more openly insti- | gating the spread of the armed con- flicts in South America. The threat of ® new world imperialist war is | menacing the intersts and lives of | the working class throughout the | whole world. We must answer with intensified activity in support of the | anti-war Congress to be held at Montevideo, Uruguay, Feb. 28, CHILE CONSCRIPTS: SUPPORT TOILERS Communism Grows in Army and Schools The growing anti-war sentiment |of the toiling Chilean masses are causing great embarrassment to the war preparations of the Chilean Gov- ernment. The government decided yesterday not to call this year’s quota of conscripts for military service “as @ result of discovery of Communistic propaganda among the recruits at the Valparaiso garrison.” The govern- ment intends instead to call for vol- unteers from the bourgeois youth and those elements of the petty bour- geoitie who have not yet lost faith in the capitalist “way out” of the crisis which is having a specially dev- astating effect in Chile. The volun- teers will be picked carefully “in or- der to prevent further infiltration of Communists into the army.” ‘The government's decision followed a secret meeting Wednesday between representatives of the Chilean and Argentina government on the unde- clared war between Bolivia and Par- aguay, The Argentina bourgeoisie are known to be preparing to enter the war on the side of Paraguay, as part of the British bloc of puppet South American governments in the armed conflict U. 8. and British imperialists are waging through their South Am- erican puppets. Throughout South America, the toiling masses are an- Swering these war preparations with increasingly militant anti-war ac- tions and support for the South Am- erican anti-war Congress to be held Feb, 28 at Montevideo, Paraguay. The Chilean government also dis- missed 100 school teachers yesterday on charges of Communist agitation in the schools.

The Telegraph is forced to admit | that the Communists are leading the | struggles of the starving masses for “food and clothes and shelter.” It further admits that “the danger of overthrow is not from outside propa- | ganda” and so on. We ask: Danger | to whom? Danger only to the capi- | talist rulers. The same force Com- munism—that represents danger to} the capitalists—represents the only | hope of the exploited masses.

Undoubtedly there was about it the| element of “teaching a Negro a les- son,” as the attorneys for Herndon charged. A statute that was 62 years old was raked out of the dusty law books as the basis for a grand jury indictment. The law itself repre-~ sented the thinking of other days and conditions of other days. It repre- sented a time when it was necesssary to repress Negroes by violence. We in this day ought to know that the) best way to keep any people, Ne~ groes or whites, in good relations to each other is to deal fairly and live justly toward each other.
